DESCRIPTION:Luke Fowler\, Country Grammar (with Sue Tompkins)\, UK\, 2017\,
16mm transferred to digital\, 18’ (German Premiere)\nSue Tompkins\, Count
ry Grammar (2003-2017)\, live performance in conjunction with the film scr
eening\n\nBased on Sue Tompkins’s first and never repeated solo performanc
e ‘Country Grammar’ (2003)\, this special collaboration between the two Gl
asgow based artists has produced a new film shot by Luke Fowler. The film
is comprised of fleeting and spontaneous material shot in summer 2017 - at
a recording studio\, in public gardens\, at home and around the streets w
here the artists' live. It introduces a new project by the British perform
er\, which invites filmmakers and artists to respond with their own visual
material to her historical performance pieces. The sound and image are co
mbined through the editing\, bringing new associations and meanings to the
original performance text. Especially for VariaVision\, Sue Tompkins will
perform ‘Country Grammar’ live in front of the screening of the film.\n\n
Luke Fowler\, Electro-Pythagorus: A Portrait of Martin Bartlett\, UK/Can\,
2017\, 16mm transferred to HD\, 45’\n\nWith his last film\, Luke Fowler p
ays tribute to the work and musical ideas of Martin Bartlett\, an experime
ntal Canadian composer influenced by David Tudor and John Cage who during
the 1970s and 1980s pioneered the use of the ‘microcomputer’. The life and
work of the highly influential\, yet little known\, composer “is resurrec
ted in this lovingly constructed biographical essay. Archival footage find
s Bartlett at home\, at work\, and onstage\, while voiceover readings of t
he proudly out artist’s reflections on his place in the era’s gay communit
y convey a sense of intimate\, holistic personal history.” (NY Film Festiv
al). Bartlett\, who died in 1993 of AIDS-related causes\, made an importan
t and original contribution to the development of live electronic music. W
orking both with theatrical and mixed media environments\, he devised eleg
ant and open interactions for instrumental performers and computer-control
led synthesizers.
